Halloween 2007 is Rob Zombie's much needed take on the Halloween franchise. Not really a sequel or a prequel this is more of a standalone interpretation of the life of Michael Myers.It follows the life of Michael from a mask obsessed child with a tendency to hurt animals through his fifteen years in...

Korean director Pil-Sung Yim's Hansel and Gretel (Henjel gwa Geuretel) is an incongruent mixture of horror and fantasy with dramatic fluctuations between the two genres. The relationship between this 2007 story and the Grimm 1812 story of the same name is very loose and it is more appropriate to say...

It is a widely little known fact that, despite his reputation for cartoonishly character filled, violent and perverted movies, Takashi Miike is also a creator of children's films and a creator of period movies (as in the corset-cleavage filled movies set in a period of time... not the kind downloada...

Confession time. This film is, and has been for a while, a favourite of mine. With that in mind, I've tried to write this as if I was seeing it for the first time when it comes to the plot i.e. no spoilers or repeat viewing perception. Let's see how this works out...Haute Tension (or High Tension, o...

Director of Tetsuo, Shinya Tsukamoto, takes a diversion from body horror with Haze and instead attacks the consciousness with the concept of isolation and confined space horror and ups it to a level that makes The Descent seem like a quiet holiday retreat commercial for claustrophobics. Combine this...

Just when the market for crazy Japanese splatter was about to become saturated beyond the help of even the most absorbent kitchen towels, Jun Tsugita added some unique originality to the sub-genre with the highly peculiar Horny House of Horror AKA Fashion Hell (Fasshon heru). Usually Tsugita stays a...

Rob Zombie's first major assault on horror viewers senses is 2003's House of 1000 corpses, and what a violent assault it is. Strangely this movie was dropped by MGM and Universal until finally getting a limited theatrical release by Lionsgate... and we're so glad it did. This movie is a truly twiste...

I've had mostly positive experiences with After Dark Films of late – although with at least one notable exception (*cough* The Task *cough*) so I had some hope for Husk (2011). After Dark may not be exactly re-inventing the wheel, but they generally have enough about them to turn out a decent horror...
